Question
Give the results of Rutherford alpha scattering experiment.
Advertisements
Solution
- Most of the alpha particles are undeflected through the gold foil and went straight.
- Some of the alpha particles are deflected through a small angle.
- A few alpha particles (one in thousand) are deflected through an angle more than 90°.
- Very few alpha particles returned back (back scattered) -that is, deflected back by 180°.
